It's ideal for overclocking or ensuring longevity of high-end components. However, if you require a non-silver based compound due to specific electronic conductivity concerns or are looking for a paste with extreme temperature-rated capabilities beyond standard PC use, consider specialized industrial compounds. ## How to use 1. Gently clean the CPU/GPU surface and the heatsink contact area using isopropyl alcohol (90%+) and a lint-free cloth to remove any old paste or residue. Ensure both surfaces are completely dry. — Prepare Surfaces 2. Dispense a small amount of Arctic Silver 5 (about a 3-4mm pea-sized dot or a thin line) onto the center of the CPU or GPU heat spreader. Avoid applying too much, as it can spread excessively. — Apply the Paste 3. Carefully place the heatsink onto the CPU/GPU, ensuring proper alignment. Secure the heatsink according to its mounting mechanism. The pressure will spread the paste evenly. Do not twist or slide the heatsink after initial contact. — Mount the Heatsink 4. Allow the system to run for a few hours, or perform a few thermal cycles (heating up and cooling down). This helps the paste fully cure and achieve its peak thermal conductivity. — Initial Run-in ## Product details | Field | Value | |---|---| | Key Ingredient | 99.9% pure micronized silver | | Secondary Particles | Thermally enhanced ceramic particles | | Particle Type | 3 unique shapes and sizes of pure silver particles | | Base Material | Polysynthetic silver compound | | Electrical Conductivity | Low (non-capacitive) | | Separation/Migration | Will not separate, run, migrate or bleed | | Application | Apply a thin, even layer to the CPU/GPU core and heatsink contact surfaces. | | Quantity per Application | Approx. 0.05 - 0.10 ml per CPU/GPU (adjust for surface area) | | Recommended Frequency | When replacing heatsink, upgrading components, or if thermal performance degrades. | | Shelf Life After Opening | 12 months (typical for thermal compounds) | | Cost per use | 3.5 g tube at ~0.075g/application = ~46 applications: ₹48.41 per application | | Contraindications | Not recommended for extreme industrial applications requiring specialized high-temperature or electrically conductive compounds. | | Allergens / Common Irritants | May cause skin irritation upon prolonged contact; avoid eye contact. | | Brand | Arctic Silver | | Model Number | AS5-3.5G | | Product Name | Arctic Silver 5 Thermal Paste | | Color | Silver | | Material | Aluminum | | Net Weight | 3.5 g (0.12 oz) | | Dimensions (Package) | 6.7 cm x 8.9 cm x 1.0 cm (2.64 in x 3.5 in x 0.39 in) | | Country of Origin | Not stated by manufacturer — US retail version, sourced from authorized US retailers | ## Frequently asked questions ### How do I buy an original Arctic Silver 5 thermal paste in India?
